Month: December 2019

Every year, the FHA announces lending limits for government-sponsored programs. GoodLife reports these changes to educate seniors on their retirement options.

LAGUNA HILLS, CA, USA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Every year, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announces its new lending limits for government-sponsored programs. GoodLife Home Loans (“GoodLife”) reports on these changes to educate seniors about their options in retirement.

Retirees and working seniors who have considered a reverse mortgage are in for good news: The Federal Housing Administration has increased the nationwide lending limit to $765,600 for 2020, according to GoodLife Home Loans.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers a number of programs that help Americans meet their housing needs, one of them being the home equity conversion mortgage (HECM), commonly referred to as a “reverse mortgage.”

Reverse Mortgage Changes

As a part of HUD’s Office of Housing, the FHA insures reverse mortgages to provide lenders with protection against losses, as they agree to pay FHA-approved lenders a claim for unpaid principal balances on defaulted loans. Loans backed by the FHA bear less risk, so they’re able to expand their lending parameters to help more seniors with their housing needs. However, the FHA will only insure mortgages up to a certain amount—which recently increased by $39,075 over last year.

GoodLife recently revealed that the nationwide reverse mortgage lending limits for 2020 grew to $765,600 compared to the old limit of $726,525. The new maximum claim amount means that eligible seniors may now be able to receive a higher principal limit on a reverse mortgage loan or a line of credit.

This may prove especially useful to potential borrowers with high-valued homes and large mortgages, since there may now be enough proceeds to pay off their existing mortgage through the HECM reverse mortgage program.

HECMs allow seniors (Age 62 and above) to tap into a portion of their home equity—with an appraised value up to $765,600, then to convert their equity into spendable money. These funds can then be used to pay for a variety of expenses in retirement, including eliminating their current mortgage payment, make home renovations, pay for medical expenses and in-home nursing care, and more. Many seniors living on a fixed, limited income in retirement have found reverse mortgages to be incredibly helpful for improving their cash flow and their quality of life.

Reverse Mortgage Guidelines

GoodLife Home Loans, a trusted reverse mortgage provider, notes that to qualify for the HECM program, you must be at least 62 years of age, own substantial equity in your home, and live in the property as your primary residence.

GoodLife points out that although the lending limit is now $765,600, it does not necessarily follow that approved applicants will receive a loan in that amount. The principal limit borrowers may be eligible for is based on the appraised value of the home, the interest rate of the loan, and the age of the youngest borrower. Ask for their free calculator or get more information on their website.

GoodLife discusses 2020 reverse mortgage changes in detail, including updates to insurance premiums, additions to the appraisal process, and expansion of condominium eligibility criteria at their educational blog. Their mission is to provide seniors and their families with all of the information they need to feel confident in the decisions they make towards their financial future.

About the Company

GoodLife Home Loans is an FHA-approved lender specializing in HECM loans. They help eligible seniors access a portion of their home equity while they continue to live in the property, so that they may enjoy a comfortable retirement rather than worrying over the cost of living.

DILOVASI, KOCAELI, TURKEY, December 30, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Europe's most prestigious indoor waterpark has invested in an innovative, new themed water play structure from Polin Waterparks.

The Tropical Islands Resort near Brandenburg, Germany, was already renowned as the largest indoor waterpark in the world with Germany's highest waterslide tower (27 meters or 88.5 feet). The 650-hectare (1,606-acre) site was developed inside what was formerly an airship hangar known as the Aerium. Now, with the addition of multiple new aquatic attractions configured in a unique new way by premier waterslide designer Polin Waterparks (Istanbul), the resort has taken its moniker of being the "biggest" and pushed it to "beyond compare."

But the size of the installation and the number of slides don't come close to telling the whole story. This highly interactive, multi-level, themed attraction offers a variety of unique features that set it apart from other installations Polin has created. For example, Polin fused eight slides together encompassing 48 pieces of custom-designed plates for this structure. In addition, Polin blended eight different theme elements into the attraction. Combined, its waterslides take riders on a 317-meter (1,040-feet) journey, with one stretch of slide reaching 66 meters (216 feet).

A custom-designed entrance arch welcomes guests as they approach the one-of-a-kind, 15-meter- (49-feet-) tall aquatic attraction. As guests climb the 116 stairs to reach the top of the multi-level structure, they have a bird's eye view of the custom-made, wood-like themeing that camouflages all of the structure's metal parts, including a themed hut and a large, unique, three-dimensional, themed bucket.

Ten components combine to create six two-level modules that are anchored using a special floor-mounting system. Similarly, a custom hydro-mechanical system was designed to fit into the smallest space possible. Despite the many custom and specialty aspects of the structure, however, Polin's safe, adaptable solutions meet all TUV standards.

World's largest indoor waterpark The original structure for Tropical Islands was built on the Brand-Briesen Airfield in 1938. In 1992, the site was purchased for use in protecting aircraft, and a hall was constructed extending 360 meters (1,181-feet) long, 210 meters (688-feet) wide and 107 meters (351 feet) high, making it one of the largest buildings on earth by volume. It also became the world's largest single hall without supporting pillars inside. (It's the third-largest among halls in general and is larger, even, than Canada's World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall.) After the airship owner went bankrupt, Malaysian corporation Tanjong purchased the site and building. It officially opened the theme park in December 2004 and has attracted millions of guests in the years since.

Tropical Islands brings together Asia, the Pacific region, Africa and South America all under one roof with a temperature around a pleasant 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). It is the ideal spot for guests to recharge their batteries, relax and have a good time. It offers a wide range of comfortable accommodations and is open year-round, 24 hours a day.

The park has two main areas. Its Tropical World section features a huge water world with fun and games for kids, the world's largest indoor rainforest, a tropical village with authentic buildings, a shopping boulevard, a fitness club and comfortable accommodations in the dome's 195 rooms and lodges or the many tents in the Rainforest and the Sunset Camp. The second half is the Sauna and Spa Complex, which offers extensive spa facilities covering an area of almost 10,000 square meters (107,639 square feet).

This past December, Tanjong sold the facility to Parques Reunidos Group, which has announced significant expansion plans. Parques Reunidos is a world-leading leisure park operator with a portfolio of more than 60 parks in Europe, the Middle East, Americas and Australia.

Custom is crucialThe custom theming of the new attraction at Tropical Islands was an important aspect of Polin's success in making sure it fit naturally into the existing park's setting. Polin works often on such projects due to its 40 years of experience across the globe in the composites sector. Polin leads the industry in waterslide manufacturing technologies. Today, 100 percent of its production is in RTM technology. That technology extends to the creation of specialty offerings such as Natural Light Effects, Special Pattern Effects, Transparent and Translucent Waterslides, and Slide 'N Roll, which combines exclusive sound, design and light effects.

Many of these technologies feature prominently into the slides that Polin included in the Tropical Islands attraction. For example, its Compact Slide, an engineering miracle, incorporates special angles and radius components that allow it to fit into even the smallest of pool spaces. Similarly, its Windigo is a sophisticated thrill ride with flexibility that includes both kamikaze or freefall options for the multi-racer section of the slide. Benefits of Polin's Multislide are part of the fun, too, allowing increased capacity, while its Space Hole is engineered to create the ultimate excitement and is one of the largest slides for speed riding.

Maximum capacity for maximum fun Tropical Islands' extensive size allows it to accommodate high-capacity crowds – up to 8,200 visitors a day and 6,000 at one time. Additional statistics that help convey its massive structure include: • 66,000 square meters (710,418 square feet) of floor space• 5 million cubic meters (176 million cubic feet) of enclosed space• 20,000 square meters (215,278 square feet) of UV-transparent film on the south side of the dome• About 50,000 plants and 600 different plant species.

DILOVASI/KOCAELİ, TURKEY, December 30, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Polin breaks record with "first-place" honor of Best Waterslide of Europe for six years from the European Star Awards

For the eighth year in a row, Polin Waterparks' innovative King Cobra waterslide has been honored by Kirmes & Park Revue magazine and sixth time in eight years, it earned the "First Place European Star Award" in the category of "Best Thrill Waterslide in Europe." Polin is honored by King Cobra's impact in the waterpark world and is excited to share the results of their dedication to quality, innovation, and technology with partner parks around the world.

King Cobra has won numerous awards since its debut. The waterslide is unique in its thrilling ride. As a whole, however, it is considered a game-changing waterslide because of its compelling appearance; it is the first in the world that offers its own theming built directly into the fiberglass. When installed with its original theme, it features bold red, black and white scales that create an imposing veneer over both its exterior and interior. Its sheer size also gains respect: It reaches a massive height of 50 feet (15.24 meters) with a length of 260 feet (790 meters). Yet, parks have many options with the impressive slide, because it can also be designed to match a park's own theming, being customized with unending variations.

"We're as proud today as we were the very first time we won a European Star Award," says Sohret Pakis, Director of Marketing and Communication for Polin Waterparks. "We take these awards very seriously because they are official recognition of our dedication to continuous R&D & delivering innovative, game-changing attractions. We will continue to focus on designing waterslides that promise experiences and ensure we maintain the trust of our partner parks. And we will never stop innovating, because our industry is evolving. So, we will continue to evolve, too.''

Including the award won by King Cobra, a total of nine awards were presented to our partner parks across Europe at this year's IAAPA Expo Europe which was hosted at Parc Asterix in Paris, France on September 16, 2019. This year, winners were selected across 14 categories by an international jury of 40 industry experts.
